I tried to install ie8 and this happened.
computer@Morbid:~$ winetricks
/usr/bin/winetricks: 17870: /usr/bin/winetricks: cannot create /home/computer/.cache/winetricks/track_usage: Permission denied
/usr/bin/winetricks: 17837: /usr/bin/winetricks: cannot create /home/computer/.cache/winetricks/track_usage: Permission denied
/usr/bin/winetricks: 17837: /usr/bin/winetricks: cannot create /home/computer/.cache/winetricks/track_usage: Permission denied
Executing w_do_call ie8
Executing load_ie8
Executing wine iexplore -unregserver
Executing w_do_call msls31
Executing load_msls31
Executing mkdir -p /home/computer/.cache/winetricks/msls31
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/computer/.cache/winetricks/msls31’: Permission denied
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'mkdir -p /home/computer/.cache/winetricks/msls31' returned status 1. Aborting.
------------------------------------------------------
computer@Morbid:~$
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Winetricks permisson help.
Re: Winetricks permisson help.
Apparently the permissions on /home/computer/.cache/winetricks are messed up. That could have happened if you ever ran winetricks as root/sudo. Check the ownership--it should be your user, not root--and make sure you have write permission.

How do I do that? I am still quite new to linux, didn't get everything figured out yet.dimesio wrote:Apparently the permissions on /home/computer/.cache/winetricks are messed up.
